Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

FSGeoTEX Geotextile sand additives refresh your existing sand or prolong the lifespan of your new sand. It gives your sand good cushioning while stabilizing the sand particles and helps retaining moisture in the arena footing.

The soft geotextile snippets of FSGeoTEX remain active as a cushioning agent for many years, unlike the stiff, thin green textiles or carpet fibers often used in other geotextile footings, which don’t add any cushioning and cannot hold and retain any moisture.

The FSGeoTEX 5*STAR Blend and GoldTEX Premium Blends are $0.33$0.48 per square foot, depending on whether you are mixing with three or four inches of qualified sand for your riding surface.

FSGeoTEX synthetic sand additives are not only competitively priced, but our blends are more cost-effective in the long-run, lasting significantly longer and requiring less material overtime to maintain your footing. Use one of our arena footing calculators on the 5*STAR Blend and GoldTEX Premium product pages to determine how much sand additive you’ll need, or contact us to have one of our experts give you a quote.

FSGeoTEX BLENDS THE ORIGINAL GERMAN GEOTEXTILE FIBER ARENA FOOTING

FSGeoTEX geotextile synthetic sand additive footing consists of polyester needle felt and fibers. Once the specific desired blend is determined, it is precisely blended during the manufacturing process. Because of the textiles’ quality, only a minimal amount is needed to improve the arena surface in new and existing jumping and dressage arenas.

FSGeoTEX is the sand additive of choice for top professional equestrians because it:

  • Adds spring to the arena footing, reducing concussion
  • Gives stability and consistency to the arena surface
  • Retains moisture and reduces dust
  • Contains NO post consumer/ recycled ingredients, so you and your horse can breath in fresh air
    and not fibers from recycled carpet shreds
  • Lasts longer than competitors’ alternatives (like stiff, thin green textiles or carpet fibers)
